Scientists are ecstatic about the landing of OSIRIS REx in Utah desert carrying samples from an asteroid. In an ongoing news conference @NASA says the small capsule has been purged with nitrogen and prepped for a flight to Houston.

A seven-year, 3.9-billion-mile journey ended Sunday when NASA landed a time capsule in the Utah desert. This capsule contained rocks and dust snatched from asteroid Bennu, a floating pile of rubble formed by remnants of the early solar system. Scientists believe the OSIRIS-REx mission collected half a pound of material, which makes it the largest asteroid sample ever brought back to Earth and the first through a U.S. mission.

NASA is looking for a spacecraft that will crash the International Space Station into the Pacific Ocean when it retires, which is currently scheduled for 2030. Here's an interesting tidbit ... the ISS partners had considered using Russia's Progress spacecraft, but they have now decided "a new spacecraft solution would provide more robust capabilities for responsible deorbit."

NASA released a stunning new image from the moon's South Pole, an area the agency plans to explore with robotic and human explorers.
